The storm, which dropped more than a foot of snow in places such as Marlow and Milton, will pull away overnight. Some parts of the state saw lower amounts than expected, and that was due to bands of very dry air that sneaked in between bands of snow early Thursday morning through midday (especially in areas west of Concord and the western parts of the Lakes Region).

Any evening snow Thursday night will taper off with dry air Friday, before another system brushes New Hampshire during part of the weekend.

Snow will fall in some areas Thursday evening, with an additional coating of an inch in parts of southern New Hampshire and 1 to 3 inches farther north. It will be quite breezy at times. In addition to snow-covered roads, be aware that any damp or slushy spots will freeze up Thursday night as temps dip well below freezing.

Outside of some early morning flakes in the mountains, the sun returns for Friday along with breezy conditions and seasonably chilly temperatures.
